General Taylor - Fairport Convention

General Taylor gained the day

Walk him along, John, carry him along

General Taylor gained the day

Carry him to his burying ground

To me way, hey, hey Stormy

Walk him along, John, carry him along

Way, hey, hey, Stormy

Carry him to his burying ground

I wish I was sold Stormy’s son

Walk him along, John, carry him along

I’d build me a ship of ten thousand ton

Carry him to his burying ground

To me way, hey, hey Stormy

Walk him along, John, carry him along

Way, hey, hey, Stormy

I’d load her down with ale and rum

Walk him along, John, carry him along

And every shellback should have some

Carry him to his burying ground

To me way, hey, hey Stormy

Walk him along, John, carry him along

Way, hey, hey, Stormy

We dug his grave with a silver spade

Walk him along, John, carry him along

His shroud of the finest silk was made

To me way, hey, hey Stormy

Walk him along, John, carry him along

Way, hey, hey, Stormy

We lowered him down on a golden chain

Walk him along, John, carry him along

On every link we carved his name

Carry him to his burying ground

To me way, hey, hey Stormy

Walk him along, John, carry him along

Way, hey, hey, Stormy

General Taylor died long ago

Walk him along, John, carry him along

He’s gone to where the winds don’t blow

Carry him to his burying ground

To me way, hey, hey Stormy

Walk him along, John, carry him along

Way, hey, hey, Stormy

El general Taylor ganó el día

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

El general Taylor ganó el día

Llévalo a su cementerio

A mi manera, hey, hey Stormy

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Camino, oye, oye, Stormy

Llévalo a su cementerio

Ojalá me vendieran el hijo de Stormy

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

me construiría un barco de diez mil toneladas

Llévalo a su cementerio

A mi manera, hey, hey Stormy

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Camino, oye, oye, Stormy

La cargaría con cerveza y ron

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Y cada shellback debe tener algunos

Llévalo a su cementerio

A mi manera, hey, hey Stormy

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Camino, oye, oye, Stormy

Cavamos su tumba con una pala de plata

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Su mortaja de la seda más fina fue hecha

A mi manera, hey, hey Stormy

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Camino, oye, oye, Stormy

Lo bajamos en una cadena de oro

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

En cada enlace grabamos su nombre

Llévalo a su cementerio

A mi manera, hey, hey Stormy

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Camino, oye, oye, Stormy

El general Taylor murió hace mucho tiempo.

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Se ha ido a donde los vientos no soplan

Llévalo a su cementerio

A mi manera, hey, hey Stormy

Acompáñalo, John, llévalo contigo

Camino, oye, oye, Stormy
